'Black Mirror' Reveals Star-Studded Season 7 Cast

Netflix has revealed a star-studded cast for its seventh installment of the anthology series Black Mirror, which will premiere on Netflix in 2025. Created by Charlie Brooker, the series features dark, frequently dystopian stories that explore the unanticipated (usually negative) of modern technology on human society. Satirical and disturbing, its episodes have explored everything from social media and the concept of a digital afterlife to dating apps, streaming services, and smart homes. Each episode is a standalone story, and the series can be watched in almost any order. (Though there are hints that some of the tales may exist within a larger shared universe.) The series originated on Channel 4, which canceled it after a couple of seasons, only to have Netflix pick it up and turn it into a cultural sensation that it now commands the best the U.K. has to offer in terms of cast.

The nineteen (19!) cast members confirmed to appear in Season 7 features many Anglophile favorites, including Peter Capaldi (Criminal Record), Emma Corrin (The Crown), Milanka Brooks (Four Weddings and a Funeral), Siena Kelly (Domino Day), Patsy Ferran (Firebrand), Lewis Gribben (Masters of the Air), Osy Ikhile (Citadel), Rosy McEwen (Harvest), Chris O'Dowd (Moone Boy), and Harriet Walter (Wolf Hall: The Mirror and the Light).

The Season 7 cast also features notable American names such as Awkwafina (Jackpot!), Paul Giamatti (The Holdovers), Rashida Jones (Sunny), Billy Magnussen (Road House), Cristin Milioti (The Penguin), Issa Rae (Insecure), Tracee Ellis Ross (Black-ish), and Jimmi Simpson (Westworld).
